Horsetail - Casuarinas
An Australian native, the botanical name is Casuarinaceae, the common name is Casuarinas, for obvious reasons it is also named Horsetail and of course She-Oak in Australia.
Found neglected in a 5 gallon container in a nursery, its height was about 150cm (5') and the trunk width is 3,5cm (1,5").
It was chopped and had a "hair cut" to the height of 25cm (10") and potted for training in an oversize pot.
